Andy Dalton is the equivalent of Steve Beuerlein

In the last few games, dalton is playing how I thought he'd play if called upon. Good to see he's playing well. But, he'll be starting somewhere next year. I would not mind Garrett Gilbert as the backup...

You guys really underestimate how awful the teams he beat are.
Truth. The teams in our 3 game winning streak have a combined record of 14-29-1. Winning is always good. But the talk of a “playoff run” with this team is very unrealistic in my view.

But the same could be said for the last 4 years. I've never at any point felt this team led by Dak could win in the playoffs. It's because they never beat good teams it's always scrubs. Last year was terrible and not all games were the defenses fault.

Yep. That’s true. Since that 3-0 start last year, this team is 11-17. It’s amazing how starved we are for any kind of hope and spark. We win 3 games and suddenly the “playoff run” talk starts. Hey I would be thrilled if we do go on a run. But I’m not buying anything in advance from this team as currently constituted.

Many fans thought Troy should have started that game in Detroit over Steve. He was ready to return. Jimmy went with the QB that got them to that point. It did not go well.
I still think Jimmy made a mistake at that point and should have started Troy.

He did put him in, in the 2nd half, butt he gam was already decided at that point.
Anyway, we got the with 3 SB's in the next 4 years.

The whole point of throwing the ball quickly is that they don't get hit. I'm not sure what's confusing here.

A DL isn't going to get to the QB with any consistency in 2.24 seconds even if the OL is terrible. Those QBs don't need to leave the pocket, where those injuries happened is irrelevant.
It just seems to me we've been bad enough....it's plausible?

You might be taking me just a tad too seriously?

I get your point. Andy did a great job.

zeke didn't produce when given his chances. nothing kellen could do about that. so he started using pollard more often. the plan worked.

I agree Zeke has had trouble.

I disagree that KM adapted...and give him legitimate chances.

"Hey zeke let's go up center again see if it works THIS time".

Definitely take my opinion with a grain of salt. I just don't have the ability to get super technical supporting my opinions.

The pocket collapses almost as quickly as the ball gets in his hands. He doesn’t have much choice at all.
Right, and at some point he started responding by releasing much more quicker. Because it was collapsing throughout the game. I was impressed they were able to get the receivers open so quickly.

Using the Beuerlein example, he’s good for a stretch but not the long term answer.

Hate, Hate, etc now back to football.....How many QB do you know that have 2 SB rings?
Now back to your world of HATE and anguish and probably misery as the hate runs deep within you!
I guess being a zone supporter allows you certain privileges, like using Dak666 on the sig. That's pathetic, even for a little man with no cajones like you.
